Offering to Be Mentor For Newbie Here in The Rain, Sensei/Grasshopper

Awesome - I bet your grasshopper will LOVE you! I just finished my grasshopper challenge last week and will be blogging about it tomorrow!

Melissa..

I would like for you to mentor me. I am not new but still have a lot of learning to do. I am in Southport and my home time is Tar Heel. We are not too far away..

Melissa I am only surprised by the fact you havent already done this!  You make a great teacher and all your students feel lucky to have you!

Thank God you're my mentor!! You're the BEST!!

Melissa, you are an amazing at teaching what you love. So, can you please help me?

You are the blogging queen and have the amazing ability to make the most challenging blog task easy. Your grasshopper will be blessed!!

Melissa: That's awesome that you are offering. I don't feel confidant enough about blogging to help others.

Mellissa,

A short question about blogging on Active Rain. I am new here. When I first joined about a month ago, I would  write an individual blog post for each group I wanted to post to, repeat the process for the next one and so on.

At some point someone pointed out to me that I was  " wasting time " and that I could write one blog post on my blog, then just copy the same post to 5 groups at a time.

Other than getting more posts for Google, how does this benefit the group? I find that most of the posts on the groups are just the same posts repeated over and over again.

Am I missing something here ?

Melisa,

 Thank you !!

Melisa spent about an hour on the phone with me last night, Friday night, around supper time.  I am sure her husband and kids appreciated that gesture :)  I know I certainly did.

I actually ended the conversation because I felt so guilty taking up so much of her time. 

Nothing can replace battle earned experience, the kind that Melissa has and is willing to share with others.

She richly deserves the title of Ambassador.

PS It took me awhile but I THINK I signed up for your Blog subscriptions, let me know If I am there, on the right hand side of the page where the daily Blog Posts appear ?

How cool is that???  And what great marketing - offering a service without selling!  I love it!  Yes I want to emulate you and your style!  Thanks for being a great model!

What would it take? Calgone!! I believe I've jumped in the deep and need a floaty! Way too many blog sites and websites to manage!!

I would like to learn to Blog more to improve my readership with others.... I always get lost with words... uggg..

Help!!!

Cara,

 Melissa is a great resource here on AR, she has stepped up and helped me, she will do so with you as well !

As for you ugggg comment above about getting lost for words.

Go with your gut, I have been making a living for 34 years, speaking and writing about topics that I am passionate about. 

You have a service that you are offering your clients, talk about why they should use you, how well you intend to service them, what advantages you offer them, what makes you the go to gal in your industry? 

Melisa will help you get off the porch and run with the big dogs !! I would also be happy to lend a hand.

Good luck

Bryan

Melissa,

I have just joined active rain and am a complete technophobe.  I have been told by my web designer that I should throw myself in at the deep end, so here I am.  I have only just signed up for an account and stumbled across your offer of a helping hand.  I am in over my head and have no idea where to start!  Just trying to navigate the AR site to figure out where I fit is making my knees turn to jelly!

I suppose the first thing I need to understand is do I receive comments via email, or must I log in to view comments?  It would be a shame to ask a question and never figure out how to get an answer!!   (please make a note of my details in case I never find you again!).  Thank you!
